length of stay tickets vs. park hopper?

[Terriw]

We (DH, DD and myself) are doing a quickie trip to DW. Sat. afternoon to check out Tues. early a.m. Can we get a length of stay ticket at the Swan for only Sat. through Monday evening? Don't wan to pay for any extra day we can't use. We have looked for 3 day park hopper plus passes and can't find one anywhere! We like to go to several parks in one day, with a break in between to swim.

I THINK that LOS passes are for the full time you are there, with no exceptions. It actually goes by the number of nights, so you'd get a 4 day, 3 night LOS pass. If you can't find 3 day PH, check the cost of a 4dPH vs. the LOS pass. Remember, unused days on the PH never expire! Great excuse for going back some time!

It doesn't hurt to get a 4 or 5-day park hopper pass because you can use unused days later - years later. We purchased 2 5-days last year in anticipation of going back this summer. Because hopper passes have gone up. Weactually saved some $, and this year, it's as though we have free passes since they were paid for over a year ago! It's nice.

As long as you are going back, the longer park hoppers would be the way to go. Also, back when I didn't know about tix options and used LOS passes I was able to get the first day taken off because of a late arrival I am pretty sure there is no such thing as a 3 day park hopper...

If you purchase the LOS pass on-site, it's possible to have them knock off the arrival and/or departure day(s) off of the passes. But if you purchase them in advance or as part of a package, then it's "no dice".
